You like Zoro because he exists exactly to placate YOUR demographic. Why is it that Zoro has the thinnest backstory out of the crew? Zoro's character arc is literally just about getting stronger but Zoro's strength has no relation to the rest of the story, no one cares about the people he defeated nor does it affect the story in any way. Think about it, his most telling moment is sacrificing himself to Kuma yet Kuma never even intended to kill Luffy.
